| - I went to lunch with some co-workers today. Given that this is the same crew that dragged me to ZZ's Big Top for lunch a couple months ago, I must confess, my expectations were pretty low (and seeing a car parked on the sidewalk leading to the front door did little to encourage me). I had heard a lot about AJ's - what a great lunch place it was, how the steak sandwiches were the best, and how they closed to move and remodel. However, I was surprised when we walked through the front door and to find myself in an upscale, European dining hall. Okay, maybe it wasn't quite like that, but still more decorous than I expected. The waitress was very nice, and adding a cucumber to my ice water was a nice touch. For lunch I went with the French Dip sandwich, and it had the perfect balance of prime rib, horseradish, and mushrooms - complemented by a flavorful Au Jus sauce. Probably the best French Dip I have had in a long time. Nicely done.
